This year our government presented us with a Christmas gift that cannot be returned — over 1,000 needy grasping invaders who do not belong in our country:

Ruben Garcia from Annunciation House in El Paso told CBS News that 522 migrants were released Wednesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at sites in El Paso and Las Cruces, New Mexico. That raises the total number of people released this week to more than 1,000, after 186 people were released on Christmas Day and 400 were released in the two days before Christmas.

Garcia said there could be another 500 released on Thursday.

ICE says it is “severely constrained in its ability to detain and promptly remove families with no legal basis to remain in the U.S.” and blames Congress. Consequently, we are endlessly deluged by foreigners who are no longer merely a drag on economy. At this point they are displacing us — gradually erasing our nation and replacing it with an extension of the wretched hellholes they created before venturing forth in conquest, brandishing their sickly babies as the ultimate weapon of modern warfare.

The most fundamental duty of the federal government is to protect the country from foreign invasion. It refuses to. Yet we are expected to pay federal taxes.

For Democrats like El Paso congresscritter Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke, the 1,000+ released illegals were a gift to themselves. Given the high reliance of immigrant families both legal and otherwise on welfare, they will vote for Democrats for generations to come.
